Wade Phillips wants Broncos to be more aggressive

"We're aggressive," Phillips said. "Defensive players, they’re aggressive by nature. I think you take something away from them when you don’t let them be." Phillips clarified that he won't necessarily get blitz-happy, but said he would have an "attack defense. That’s the way players like to play," Phillips said. "You get the best results out of that and I think you play the best that way so we’ll be that way."

Phillips' strategy should be a welcome addition in Denver. Former defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio was often criticized for the team's lack of aggression on defense. Phillips already has the support of Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware.

"This defense has the players to do it, we need just to get in the lab and figure out how to be better," Miller said. "Because we had moments where we showed what we can do, but we didn’t do it enough, myself included, I know that."

Ware added, "we feel like there’s more we can do. We want every play to be hard on the quarterback."

Broncos add DeMarcus Ware to injury report, probable for Sunday

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(11/22/14) The Broncos have added defensive end DeMarcus Ware to the injury report because of an illness. He has been listed as probable for Week 12 against Miami, according to the Miami Herald.

Ware is in the midst of a bounce-back season in his first year with the Broncos, registering nine sacks and two forced fumbles, along with 28 total tackles through 10 games. In 2013, he had just six sacks in 13 games with the Cowboys.

DeMarcus Ware, Von Miller lead Broncos' Week 7 sack parade

(10/20/14) The Broncos defense racked up six sacks in Week 7's 42-17 blowout win over the 49ers, with defensive end DeMarcus Ware leading the team with three sacks.

Linebacker Von Miller added two sacks in the win as the Broncos pass rush abused a shorthanded 49ers offensive line that was struck by injuries to two centers in the game. Miller leads the league with eight sacks on the season in only six games, while Ware is right behind him with seven. The dangerous pass rush will square off with the Chargers on Thursday.

(9/12/14) The Broncos should have at least six players listed on the injury report for Week 2.

DeMarcus Ware pays immediate dividends

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(9/8/14) Broncos defensive end DeMarcus Ware made an immediate impact for his new team, racking up 1.5 sacks in the Week 1 win over the Colts. Ware looked fully healthy after battling injuries last year.

In addition to the sacks, Ware hurried quarterback Andrew Luck three times. Ware faces the Chiefs at home Week 2.

DeMarcus Ware is going from the Cowboys to the Broncos this season after signing a three-year deal worth $30 million. Ware is the Cowboys franchise leader in sacks with 117, and he's expected to boost Denver's pass rush this season playing opposite Von Miller. Ware had a down year in 2013 in Dallas with just six sacks, which the first time since his rookie season in 2005 that he failed to record double digits in sacks, and he managed just 40 total tackles, one interception and one fumble recovery. But we expect him to rebound and play well with the Broncos. He's worth drafting as a mid-round pick in all IDP leagues, especially with a move back to defensive end from linebacker, which only enhances his Fantasy value.
